Presentation Problems

• Once upon a time when I was younger, I made some
  serious errors when I made presentations -
  because I failed to take my audience into
  account. On one occasion, I failed to hear
  properly the name of the place from where my
  audience came. I referred to it several times in
  my talk as Bangladesh afterwards they told me
  politely that they came from Andhra Pradesh in
  India.
• On another occasion I planned a science activity
  based on traditional English stories, one of
  which had the title The Three Pigs. I hadnt
  taken into consideration that my audience were
  Muslims

Presentation solutions

• Once upon a time I worked at the University
  training students to teach science. Sometimes,
  after they had all carried out experiments I
  would ask groups of students to present their
  findings in interesting ways. The students were
  very resourceful. Sometimes a group wrote a song
  (or a poem) about their experiment, and sang (or
  recited) it to the class. Sometimes they
  presented their experiment like a play or TV
  commercial. Everyone had fun, the scientific
  content was remembered and the presenters had the
  attention of the whole class.
